In the verse it seems that Peter does not hit the high e string but he
strums every chord once and then the stays at the melodic strings til the
next chord.


D5                   Am7
If the storm doesn't kill me
    C                 G
the government will
           D5       Am7       Fill1
I've gotta get that out of my head
       D         Am7         C         G
It's a new day today and the coffee is strong
  D       Am7      Fill11
I finally got some rest

So a man's put to task and challenges
I was taught to hold my head high
Collect what is mine,
Make the best of what today has

D*                     C*      Fill2
Houston is filled with promise
D*                   C*
Laredo's a beautiful place
D*                            C*                Fill2
and Galveston sings like that song that I loved
F                        G
Its meaning has not been erased

And so there are claims forgiven
And so there are things that are gone

Houston is filled with promise
Laredo is a beautiful place
and Galveston sings like that song that I loved
Its meaning has not been erased

F
And some things, they fall to the wayside
G                         D5
Their memory is yet to be stilled
F
Belief has not failed me
    G                        D5
And so I am put to the test
